Amino-terminal presequence of the precursor of peroxisomal 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase is a cleavable signal peptide for peroxisomal targeting
Abstract
To examine the function of the amino-terminal presequence of rat peroxisomal 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase precursor, fusion proteins of various amino-terminal regions of the precursor with non-peroxisomal enzymes were expressed in cultured mammalian cells. On immunofluorescence microscopy, all constructs carrying the presequence part exhibited punctate patterns of distribution, identical with that of catalase, a peroxisomal marker. Proteins lacking all or a part of the prepiece were found in the cytosol. These results indicate that the presequence of the thiolase has sufficient information for peroxisomal targeting.
